A former Waterloo youth minister is accused of having sex with a teenage girl from his church.

Michael Ross, 28, is charged with sexual exploitation by a counselor and simple assault.

Ross was director of youth ministries at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Waterloo from March 2003 until December 2005. He is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl in his youth group in December 2004 and February 2005.

The simple assault charge stems from a November incident where he allegedly forced her down on his bed and had her lie next to him, records state.

Ross is a licensed pastor through the First Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan.
